Union Public Service Commission [UPSC] — Regarding educational eligibility for INDIAN FOREST SERVICE EXAMINATION

Sir/Madam, I have completed Doctor of Pharmacy[protected]. I aspire to become a civil servant and therefore would like to apply for UPSC CSE AND UPSC INDIAN FOREST SERVICE EXAMINATION.

Grievance no.1:
There is also a lot of ambiguity whether a B-pharm/Pharm-D graduate is eligible for Indian Forest Service Examination. I have studied subjects like biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Statistics and Biostatistics during my Pharm-D course. Despite that nobody could guide me in this regard. So please let me know if a student with pharmacy background will be eligible for IFoS or not.

Grievance no.2:
Also, I found that there are no optional subjects in UPSC CSE, that facilitate a Pharmacy student. Medical sciences as an optional subject is provided. But there is no mention of Pharmaceutical Sciences. This is extremely discouraging for students like me who have dedicated 6 years for Doctor of Pharmacy Course and wanted to be a civil servant.
